four thirty pm on the twenty fourth of january a suicide bomber blaze apart the packed arrivals hall at russia's busiest airports . my first thought was to get away a lot of people were living motionless even more people were being piled up near the first aid area some world already dead they were dragged away a horrible picture. i looked at my watch and then flash and i passed out when i woke up there was a ringing in my ears it was a sour smell everything in ash is everyone is groaning three or four men were piled up on top of me the one directly above me was wounded in the chest he took all the shrapnel. amongst the thirty five dead people for many nationalities. added when you fathers god includes the injuries to to marry the mother of his child. shelves wife watched him die in front of her on the airport floor
3:03 pm
around the world families now grieving the days who were saved pretty early calles . some very. very. stark realization of the work of. god for what for there was a. brief review of her parents. very. investigators say they've now identified the man responsible but haven't yet released the name of. russian investigators and security services have identified the suicide bomber who detonated an explosive device stuffed with metal elements at moscow's domodedovo airport on monday it was a twenty year old man from russia's north caucasus although investigators know the terrorists name we're not going to disclose it now as we're currently working to establish the organizers and accomplices of this crime north caucasus separatist
3:04 pm
groups and extremists have been responsible for similar deadly attacks in russia the twin bombings at the mosque a match a less than a year ago was carried out by a terror group in dagestan. this attack has once again raised serious questions about the counterterrorism methods in russia and the airports and transport authorities and the police have come under heavy criticism yet the russian response has been one of resilience just hours after the attack flights had redeemed and people have been visiting the hospitals today nate bloods sears recd also a short. those who committed these terrible acts targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to its knees but the wrong russia is aware of its place in the world russia will fulfill its obligations towards its citizens and the world community unfortunately no state in the world is immune to terrorism terrorist attacks like this one in russia unfortunately can happen at any time anywhere in the world there is no universal remedy against this evil but one
3:05 pm
thing we can say for sure our success in battling this very threat depends on solidarity. and the official day of mourning both president medvedev and prime minister putin attended services all religions uniting to commemorate those he died in the attacks allowed to continue to be laid at the site of the blast it's a poignant reminder that in the war on terror it's once again ordinary people here on the front line in a scene of tragedy. and of mourning now it's time for action and that's if the international community to stand united or work together now to fight this global terrorist threats so. well there's been a huge reaction to the airport around the world u.k. based aviation expert says it was a deliberate attack on foreigners coming to russia well of course this is the major
3:06 pm
go away for international airline flying into moscow it is the favored airport. one house to ask the question because whether. of that fact because many international visitors to to russia pass through the airport. you know the question has to be whether this was primarily the target in other words targeting the economic well being of russia as well as those people who are traveling on the aviation. authorities are now looking into security lapses adama dead of air that let the suicide bomber reach his target but it's not like the bennett reports one day's blasdell to target a wider debate on whether such attacks can actually prevented. as the dust settled the blame game began domodedovo or took the rap from russian
3:07 pm
authorities with a number of airport officials sacked by international observers made more worrying conclusions the awful truth is is that there is no way to stalk terrorists in any capital on a constant basis you have to there are certain things you have to do specially after a time but ultimately it's very very hard protect all transport in the capital city security at domodedovo has now been increased mandatory metal detectors and baggage x. rays accompany every entrance to the building it sounds as one question but poses another we're not actually allowed to film inside the airport anymore since security's been stepped up but one of the problems with the new stringent checks here is that a queue of people build up just inside the airport presents exactly the sort of target trying to avoid these pictures were filmed covertly around fifty people are
3:08 pm
packed into a tiny space with queues ten minutes long before the explosion security here was no different to most other international airports only israel's ben-gurion airport is considered more secure than any other. vehicle checkpoints fingerprint scanners and compulsory passenger interviews but such resource intensive measures aren't possible at larger airports domodedovo handled twenty two million passengers last year double that of ben-gurion so what's the answer in the first call if you want to promote security the second objective you want to facilitate the flow of commerce and the third is you want to protect individual our privacy and the question i would pose is where in the middle of the triangle do you want to make the line or for russia's parliament it's about security this week the state duma gave preliminary approval to new and terror warnings they modeled on the u.s. system of color coded alerts created post nine eleven government just look how much
3:09 pm
we needed this system in light of the damage of attack what everyone is seeing is that there was no relevant information and now according to the war we will have to inform the society about the threats facing russia's determination in fighting terrorists has never been questioned but its methods. now has the system you must make sure it works either then it's r.t. moscow. or adama dead of a tragedy was the first if you were trapped by the russian delegation at the world economic forum in. a while the subject state for russia the world's financial power play as we put all that is our coming out. in the wake of the violent protests in egypt could there be a link with a college revolution of the former soviet countries. that he might be benefiting from the global on rast. russia and the us are about to begin casting their
3:10 pm
strategic atomic after the new start agreement between the world's biggest nuclear powers is due to come into force within days after it was approved by the russian parliament this week. cannot explain. after more than a year of hard line negotiating and ten more months of internal dispute it's finally done moscow and washington are stripping down their nukes first the state duma and then the federation council gave the bill the green light now that it's signed by the president only a formal exchange of ratification documents is left before the new start comes into force for the next ten years many hope it will not only restrain the two nuclear superpowers but become an example for others to follow this first of all is about the security of the united states and the security of russia this is about unwinding the excesses of the cold war this is about bringing both countries back to the same level of nuclear weapons because we reach really insane levels during
3:11 pm
the cold war i think it will have real irrational implications in effect other countries as decision making as well managed to become the symbol of a restart of the lesions between moscow and washington the deal was initially backed by both presidents but it didn't come easy most of the u.s. republicans fell into opposition demanding amendments and the internal disputes stretched for months before president obama finally pushed the deal through the congress ended up making two so-called special speedman securing washington's right to modernize its remaining strategic arms and insisting the deal would not affect america's missile defense plans but the statements are non-binding meaning they will not affect the actual implementation of the deal the original text remained untouched but unfortunately for the first time. very public. on the war against three d. which is the rather strange but i think it was. a barber
3:12 pm
and most of the obama administration and basically i don't think that was so much of it three do russian deputies also made non-binding special states. illegally linking offensive and defensive weapons which was one of the main stumbling points in the negotiations secured moscow's right to step out of the agreement if it feels threatened by u.s. missile defense plans in europe and stressed statements previously made by the us congress do not free washington from its obligations they hope that the coming years will show that both americans and the us russia. show responsibility in fulfilling these obligations and that will create a new spirit of mutual confidence and trust the new start is not the first such agreement between moscow and washington the first two were signed in one thousand nine hundred one and in ninety three but neither managed to bring russia and the
3:13 pm
u.s. those schools it's expected the leaders deal will open many new doors of opportunity to also moving forward on the russia's w t o accession america is very supportive but it's not enough we have to have more time as we have to have more docking mechanisms we have to have more bridges the more dependent we are the better it is for our future a future which has become a little clearer the exchange of the ratification documents officially enforcing the new start could happen as soon as the fourth of february even though the treaty is set to reduce the number of strategic arms by over one third it still leaves both the nuclear superpowers with the north warheads to blow the entire planet into a different solar system so perhaps it's not numbers that the new start is all about but trust by reducing the number of strategic arms russia and the united states are in forcing their strategic partnership at least for the next decade
3:14 pm
you've got us going off r t moscow. joe rubin an analyst from the national security network in the u.s. says the new start treaty turns a new page in international relations from only to a safer world. it's very beneficial to all involved the u.s. and russia have now fully engaged in the restart of the relationship and put substance behind it a lot of good rhetoric over the last year and a half now we actually have an agreement a bipartisan agreement from capitol hill also is a very unique moment and so we see an american russian consensus around a key issue of security for both countries there's a interest in moving past the cold war and security threats are dynamic now we have terrorism in. moscow and monday these threats coming from a very long arm of. countries outside of nato and outside of europe the hope is
3:15 pm
that this will create a new dynamic and create new opportunities now that everyone who cares about arms control and is looking at nuclear weapons as a serious issue sees it the u.s. and russia can make progress it does give an opportunity for new thinking about how do you dress this in two thousand and eleven that was joe rubin and on this from the national security team that way. anti-government protest is in egypt all ramping up the pressure of president hosni mubarak has fallen rages six days more than one hundred fifty people killed in the uprising we're losing spreading across the country as the army struggles to. scale reports from the egyptian capital cairo right. thousands of protesters remain in the city center into here every square now they have been joined by hundreds of judges at the same time and join our opposition figure mohamed el baradei he is the former chief of the international atomic energy agency and he says he will be prepared to head an interim government
3:16 pm
i've asked to do so i spent most of sunday at two we swear and i can tell you that the mood there is a very volatile and we were busy interviewing people who have been sick and it's the change from talking to one of anger when we ran to the car we jumped on the comm people were banging on the windows and how we were in on the car as we tried to get out of ways so that situation is very very volatile at the same time though there are fewer protesters out on the street then they have in previous days and this is simply because they formed themselves into what can be called a neighborhood watch groups during sunday thousands of prisoners escaped from prisons around the country and many of them broke into police stations they managed to get any mission and weapons they managed to arm themselves and they have really been patrolling and controlling the highways throughout this country and terrifying people so people are using whatever they can kitchen knives mitchell was sticks to protect their homes and no one is prepared to entertain the fact that they will be
3:17 pm
in egypt with mubarak the protesters simply saying that they will not move until he steps down but that doesn't seem to be likely so if you're not anytime soon the latest word we have is that his army has moved into sharon will share foreign nationals have been urged to leave the country the american embassy saying that from monday morning it will be torturing flights out of here the turkish government has sent a turkish claim in that turkish citizens from here and the vice president omar suleiman has been meeting the day sunday with the kids officials to pry into the situation now the international community particularly with communications which is the united states have. to feel the strain to implement some kind of a. as we've seen demonstrations throughout the world in those demonstrations in both here in cairo there's been a lot of anger directed at the united states who of course has propped up mubarak and this is supported by wiki leaks documents a cable going back to two thousand and seven but interestingly enough that cable
3:18 pm
also talks about the fact that while the united states has supported mubarak it also in private supported opposition leaders to the united states playing a game of double standards here the big question on everyone's mind is whether or not these protests will result in the same way there was altered in tunisia with the overthrow of the president but it is still too soon to say whether mubarak himself will go. there reporting from cairo and while wiki leaks points to a u.s. hand behind the current uprising in egypt is not the first time washington's been suspected of involvement in regime change many believe the so-called colored revolutions that plagues and former soviet countries have been in this irritated and sponsored by the united states and does the next year she ask your report being the parallels with the current arrest in north. georgia two thousand and three.
3:19 pm
ukraine two thousand and four. cutest on two thousand and five. and egypt twenty eleven i think these are all completely different revolts well think again and not only because their race fist was one of their symbols if you look more closely you look at the people who are leading this are being coached in the they're being coached by u.s. intelligence services the same way the orange revolution was in ukraine or the roles revolution was saakashvili and in georgia a string of revolutions some bloodless some north to rock the boat soviet space at the beginning of the twenty first century there were a number of common factors an uprising against the regime rooted in a popular dissatisfaction with standards of living hence the collective name colored revolutions amazingly their outcomes have been quite similar to six years
3:20 pm
ago key of independence square was the birthplace of the orange revolution it promised a new dawn and major changes for the country but ultimately all aspirations came to nothing. lawyer goody goody sudan is one of those disenchanted with the outcome of the orange make over he says the bright promises of the revolutions leaders have in reality pushed the country into an abyss. and corruption in greece the country became divided on the. issue was nothing changed for the better it changed only to the words. of the next elections revolutionary hero received only five percent of the world the lowest percentage for acting president of the world it was a similar story in georgia where they had the optimism of the rose revolution soon gave way to disappoint. went and eventually to mass protests their anger with president saakashvili was met with
3:21 pm
a response that was all too familiar as gas grenades and water cannons were used to quell the unrest and then just on the revolution of two thousand and five also quickly turned sour last year so yet another popular revolt but those falls dawns and bitter lessons are far from the minds of those clamoring for change in north africa. when a danger emerges when the power overturning the government which they thought illegal and autocratic like in the case of tunisia and egypt does not have a political platform and a government apt to put things in order in the country the danger lies in the personality of those who would desire to use the revolutions which happened in the arab world we have to take care that the far right or any other forces with an imperialist acknowledge will not take advantage of the situation if those are really people's movements they should not have let anyone in to feel with death theirs and that. experts agree that it may take some time before the world will see
3:22 pm
